Im back into Mosaics after a 10 year gap and discovered a true love of this art form. I've also found this has helped me through a very dark patch in my life and now I've finally found what I was always meant to be doing. Its Therapy with a Capital T and i'm loving every part of it.

Take a Stitch Tuesday

or TAST from Sharon B's Pin Tangle site, which is learning a new stitch every week ,so this is the latest project we'll be working on and hopefully get through every single week of it
I've decided to make mine using a square frame and calico, i'll do random stitches in the square until i'm comfortable with that stitch and then at the end of the 52 weeks i'd like to make my squares into my own book of stitches, not sure how i'll do that yet and there's no hurry as we still have 51 weeks to go.

This is the first one, a Fly Stitch

You can see where i started, on the left lol and got a bit more adventurous as i moved across, i had to add some french knots, there's not many stitches that i know but i can make a frenchy lol I thoroughly enjoyed doing this and it'll be a great reference point to keep going back to. I'm looking forward to next weeks stitch. If you click on the pic it will enlarge so you can see the stitches better !!
